Launching from Palm Beach, hopefully the swell is not too big and we start from the ocean side, so bring helmets and be ready to get wet. We will go somewhere, I would like to attempt to Maitland Bay but we will see what the weather brings.

Sunday's trip is a one-way. The direction will be determined according to the weather. There's usually surf on Coledale Beach, so helmets required.

The days may be swapped around if that works better for the weather.

I plan to spend two nights at the caravan park (Friday and Saturday).

I have a tentative booking for a few sites. Once you register for the trip please email and let me know what you're thinking re camping (especially if you'll be camping one night or two) and I'll try to put you together with someone to share a site. Campsites are $28 per night for two people.

If the trip shows full you can drop me an email and I'll see what I can do.

* Grade - This is a trip for Grade 3s and Grade 2s with some ocean and surf experience.

Arrive by 0930. Bring snacks, lunch, kayaks to grade 3. We will launch from Swansea

We will have a sheltered launch, paddle around Moon Island and explore the coastline with details depending on conditions on the day. There may be optional surfing on the bar if conditions are suitable - bring a helmet if interested. We will aim to stop for lunch, but may need to eat on the water, and will return by 1430.

Your leaders will be Campbell and Caoihmin You can contact Campbell on camtil99[at]gmail.com

Based in Honeymoon Bay - the pearl of Jervis Bay - the paddlers will explore the magnificent features of the area over two days of paddling. Seals and dolphins often make appearances here; whales may well add to the excitement this time of the year!

Should if fit the group and conditions, we may choose to mix in some engaging training exercises to mix things up; or, we may simply choose to cruise and enjoy the sea. The emphasis will be on paddling and working together, perhaps brushing up on some skills but definitely gaining some 'sea' time. It's not about racing to the end.

Paddling is on the menu for both Saturday and Sunday. If you can only make one of the days it will probably be OK but please email organiser prior to booking.

Grade 2-3 welcome. Note: all need to present kayak to Grade 2 minimum (check club website); note that paddling along long exposed stretches of cliffy coastline for may be expected. If this sounds intimidating, contact organiser to discuss. If you're Grade 1, but think you're up to it, contact the organiser (before booking).

Come along to make this a classic Club weekend. Car based camping and socialising on both Friday and Saturday nights - should be fun. Bring cooking gear, food, nibbles and drink to share; good humour - and willingness to risk getting wet.

Note: camping in Honeymoon Bay cannot be booked beforehand; it is on first-come basis on the day.

Gear: all the paddling gear you have, including a helmet, first aid, rescue aids, etc. Camping gear to be self-sufficient.

Your leader will be Harry Havu, You can contact Harry by e-mail harryhavu (at) gmail.com

We will head out from Yarra Bay (Sailing Club) out to sea and possibly have lunch break at Little Bay or Long Bay depending on weather conditions and group composition. Distances between 15 to 20kms depending on where we want to go. As a plan B, if the conditions are not favorable we will have a paddle inside the bay and possibly do some self and assisted rescues.

Kayaks minimum to Grade 2. Bring some lunch and dry apparel.

This is a great opportunity for those that have not had a chance to participate on any of the Island Challenge trips – come along and tick off a whole bunch in one foul swoop.

We will be launching from Parsley Bay (Brooklyn) on both days and staying Saturday night at a club member’s house. Some will be able to sleep inside, others will be able to pitch tents in the yard.

We plan to head upstream on the Saturday and pick off quite a number of islands including Spectacle, Snake, Peat, Milsons, Bar Islands, maybe also Friendly island if the tide is working well.

On Sunday we will circumnavigate Dangar island before heading out into Broken Bay to circle Lion Island.
